Last week, Keeway announced the pricing of its two scooters: Vieste 300 and Sixties 300i. Both the models are priced at Rs 2.99 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi). Now the said pricing is quite high and leaves you with some notable options in the motorcycle market. Let’s take a look at all the alternatives for the Hungarian maxi-scooter.
Honda CB300R
Of the top five alternatives to the Keeway Vieste 300, the first one is Honda CB300R. Priced at Rs 2,77,291 (ex-showroom Delhi), the CB300R is a neo-retro offering from the Japanese brand. It packs a 286cc BS6 motor that dishes out 31.1 bhp and 27.5 Nm. It weighs just 146kg and gets a fuel tank of 9.7-litres. On the feature front, the CB300R packs LED illumination and dual-channel ABS.
Royal Enfield Interceptor 650
Next up, you also have the Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 as an alternative for the Keeway Vieste 300. It retails at Rs 2,88,175 (ex-showroom Delhi) and is one of the most affordable middle-weight motorcycles currently on sale in India. You get a 648cc twin-cylinder motor that belts out 47bhp and 52Nm. The Interceptor 650 gets a proper old-school design with a round headlight and curvy body panels. On the feature front, you get ABS and a digital inset with twin analog pods.
Keeway Sixties 300i
If you are inclined to Keeway only, the Sixties 300i too is available as an option. It costs the same as the Vieste 300 (Rs 2.99 lakh) and packs the same motor too – 278.2cc, single-cylinder, liquid-cooled motor developing 18.7bhp and 22Nm. On the features list, you get LED illumination, a semi-digital instrument cluster and dual-channel ABS. Not to mention, unlike the Vieste 300’s sharp design, the Sixties dons a proper retro bodywork with long and curvy panels.
BMW G 310 GS
The BMW G 310 GS too fits in the mix with an asking price of Rs 3,04,873 (ex-showroom Delhi). The Bavarian ADV gets off-road credentials like the front beak, knobby tyres, and upright stance. It draws power from the 313cc single-cylinder mill with the output rated at 33.52 bhp and 28 Nm. With the component on offer, the G 310 GS not only makes for a good off-roader but also a commendable tourer.
2022 KTM RC 390
Last but not the least, you can also consider the 2022 KTM RC 390 as a viable option. The Austrian supersport costs Rs 3,14,000 (ex-showroom Delhi) and has received a host of upgrades in its latest iteration. From a new design to a tweaked motor, a new braking setup, revised ergonomics and more features as well. Overall, the 2022 model is a major upgrade from its previous generation.
